Munroe Bergdorf first stepped onto our radar when she became the first openly trans model featured in a L’Oréal campaign. Then, almost as soon as she was given the title, it was stripped away from her when, after the riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, she wrote a Facebook post stating that White people’s “entire existence is drenched in racism.”

She subsequently lost the deal with L’Oréal. But for me, it cemented Munroe’s name in my head. And I’ve been interested in her trajectory ever since.

Yesterday, my sister told me that Bergdorf shared images on her Instagram and detailed her decision to have Facial Feminization Surgery or (FFS).

Munroe, 30, began publicly identifying as a woman when she was 18-years-old. And just began taking hormones four years ago. In addition to her modeling career, she also works as a DJ and obviously an activist for the rights of both the trans community as well as Black people across the diaspora.
